Rutherglen wine region Winemaking in Rutherglen has been more or less continuous since 1839, and many of the wineries go back well beyond 100 years.Campbells, Jones, St Leonards and Warrabilla produce the bold reds – shiraz and durif – that the region is renowned for. But Rutherglen is even better known for its world-class fortified wines, mostly muscat and tokay. In this category, Chambers Rosewood and Morris lead the way. Look out for All Saints, with its historic building, and Pfeiffer, Chambers, Gehrig Estate and Campbells.The countryside of grassy paddocks and big old gum trees is dotted with many beautiful historic buildings, and some of the wineries are located on the banks of the Murray River. A popular Winery Walkabout is held every June. Great Northern Mine: marked by mullock heaps associated with the first alluvial goldmine in the district. Historical details are provided on-site; Great Northern Rd, 5 km E.
